Breast augmentation surgery is one of the most popular and commonly performed cosmetic surgeries here at Red Rose Desire and involves increasing or enhancing your breast, often referred to as a breast enlargement or ‘boob job’.
In the past, these implants were recommended to last 10 years and so a replaced implant or second breast surgery is referred to as a breast re-augmentation.
Occasionally we see ladies who following surgery, either immediately or after some time, feel dissatisfied, uncomfortable or disappointed with the size of their breast augmentation, mostly as they yearn to go bigger or less often, smaller.
We offer a free consultation so that we can listen and work with you to make sure that you are selecting the best shape and size to enjoy the body you deserve.
Breast Augmentation – your initial surgery
Breast augmentation surgery focuses on enhancing your breast shape and size; usually involving a breast implant to be placed on top of your breast tissue or under the chest muscle. As part of your surgery you may also have nipple realignment and/or a breast lift procedure. Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure that will alter the shape of your breasts, requiring your body, tissue and skin to adapt to a new larger, firmer shape.
Your surgeon and care team will work hard to ensure that your surgery journey is unique to you, meaning that your result meets your goals and expectations, and is as you discussed during your initial consultations.
There are a range of implants to choose from, all in different shapes and sizes. This is important to understand so that you can work with your surgeon to find the most suitable for you and your body shape.
Why might I need re-augmentation surgery?
Your breast augmentation surgery is specific to you and outcomes vary between patients; what is perfect for one lady is not always desirable for another. What shouldn’t vary though is your wish to feel confident and body perfect, and our surgeons are skilled in working with you to ensure you get the best fit for you and your expectations.
Not everyone will require revision surgery, but it is a procedure some patients choose, to re-size or amend procedures performed elsewhere or over time. Breast re-augmentation will focus on the removal and replacement of your breast implants, with or without a replacement implant.
Causes and corrections
There are a few reasons you may feel you need further surgery. At Red Rose we are here to work with you and find the procedure that is perfect for you and will give you the results that you are looking for.
Common concerns for re-augmentation surgery are rippling or firmness of the breast tissue and skin that alter the natural look of your breasts. Over time our bodies naturally change size and shape; possibly following childbirth, breast feeding, weight loss or natural ageing, and this can result in an increase or decrease in breast size or shape; drooping or asymmetry causing an undesirable imbalanced look. New implants can be increased or decreased in size to remove any skin rippling or firmness, along with realigning implants to correct any asymmetry.
You may find, following your breast augmentation surgery and recovery time, that your breast shape and/or size are not hitting the mark that you had hoped for and expected; breast size revision surgery can correct this and help you achieve your desired size.
Although implants do not have a lifespan or remove-by date, you may be experiencing some implant deflation. This problem is easily rectified by replacing your implant.
Continuously body confident
There are no guarantees to a specific surgical outcome for your breast augmentation, even following your detailed consultation sessions with your surgeon and care team, you may still find that over time you want to revisit your initial breast implant results to ensure you continue to experience the body confident feeling you deserve.
